I was not taxable for the first 3 years of working life -- then the next increment pushed me into the taxable bracket. Now I'm not taxable again! Also, we get tax deductions for stuff like buying books (maximum of RM1,000 per year) and computers (I think that's every 3 years) and insurance premiums, etc. So, even if you're taxable, after deducting all the stuff, you might not be paying much tax. But all restaurants charge a 5% govt tax on the bill and most also impose a 5% or 10% service charge on top of that. That's why we usually don't tip -- I figure they've already tipped themselves! You wake at 5:30am?!?! *faints* Excellent service depends on where you go and who you are. Upmarket places and hotels do have good service. It's also generally believed that foreigners get better service (perception being that they have more to spend). Actually everyone I know tends to complain that the level of service in the country leaves a lot to be desired!
